Ordering & Payment

Can I see your prices currencies other than UK Pounds?

It is possible to view prices in multiple currencies by choosing the appropriate currency from the dropdown element towards the top-left of each page. Prices on our website quoted in currencies other than Pounds Sterling are approximate. Once you enter the checkout process, prices are displayed in pounds, as our payments system uses Pounds Sterling for all transactions. Your credit card company will convert our Pounds Sterling charge into your home currency on your credit card statement. This price will vary slightly from the advertised Dollar/Euro/etc. price due to (a) exchange rate fluctuations, and (b) we use mid-market rates as published by the European Central Bank, and these will differ slightly from your bank's selling rate. Our exchange rates are updated daily.
